TensorFlow

An end-to-end platform for machine learning

About TensorFlow

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open-source platform for building and deploying machine learning models in almost any environment, from servers and browsers to mobile and edge devices. Its intuitive APIs and interactive examples help beginners learn quickly, while production-tested tools across the ecosystem accelerate training, serving and workflow management. A large community, curated learning resources and regular releases keep the framework current for researchers and engineering teams.
